I have now changed to a new single domain setup, and again everything
works apart from the automatic lists. Stil receiving this error message:

2020-08-13T16:00:21.490043+02:00 build sympa_automatic[17586]: err
main::#164 > Sympa::Spindle::spin#83 >
Sympa::Spindle::ProcessAutomatic::_twist#151 > Conf::valid_robot#854
Robot * undefined; no /home/sympa/etc/* directory
2020-08-13T16:00:21.490273+02:00 build sympa_automatic[17586]: err
main::#164 > Sympa::Spindle::spin#83 >
Sympa::Spindle::ProcessAutomatic::_twist#152 Robot * does not exist

I have no idea what causes this, what is 'Robot *' even supposed to mean
in a single domain config? Is there anybody who has some clue?
Many thanks in advance,
